Apparently by just deeming it so. However there is one problem that has been thwarting Kevin from his right to govern Canada. The "real" government of Canada inconsiderately ignored Kevin's proclamation and is still acting as if it is the legitimate functioning Canadian government. This gross criminal activity seems to have unhinged Kevin somewhat, at least his latest posting about the republic of Kanata don't reflect a mind entirely happy with the way events have gone;

Anyhow, as I said, I can't connect Alexander to the sticker but it seems a surprising bit of timing. Alexander is an avid Karl Lentz believer so why not Kevin too?

Annett's tongue in cheek challenge to duel Jordan Cantwell Moderator of the United Church of Canada (who he misidentifies as a male) and others is a little weird. But, being from Louisville, I liked the Ali material " . . .he’s so ugly the sweat drips backward from his face so it don’t have to go there."

Here's one for Kevin and Alexander: “If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.”

Even if there were such a bill passed that repealed a specific statute outlawing dueling, that would not make dueling legal, would it? Wouldn't dueling still fall under the statutes covering assault with a deadly weapon and/or murder or attempted murder?

Perhaps parliament was just doing a little housecleaning and repealing an outdated and unnecessary law.

I have no idea what he's babbling about. I've read nothing about the Trudeau government revising laws on duelling.

The country’s Liberal government has formally presented a comprehensive justice bill that, in part, seeks to rid the Criminal Code of laws that are “obsolete, redundant, or already ruled as unconstitutional,” Platt writes. Among the laws getting the boot is section 71, which imposes a prison sentence of up to two years on anyone who challenges or provokes a person to fight a duel, or accepts a challenge to fight a duel. (It should be noted that using a weapon to cause bodily harm remains, without doubt, a prosecutable offense.)

Now comes the part where Dorman cries treason and tyranny and the freeman wannabes who fancy having a similar (un)successful escapades in court circle the wagons in the hopes of keeping the freeman fantasy alive.

Getting rid of a specific law banning duelling seems reasonable to me. However, removing the law banning witchcraft may be a mistake. On a regular basis in Canada victims are scammed out of large sums of money by "mediums"/"spiritual advisors". This is not someone asking to get their palm read for a lark but the spiritual advisror asking for sums that approach 20 to 70k$. Usually the scammer is prosecuted under the witchcraft law since the bar for the Crown is much lower than trying to prove fraud. Since most of the victims are recent immigrants to Canada I expect there will be a lot of quiet pressure put on the government by various groups to come up with a revised version of the law.

Thank you Ninj. A valid defence against witchcraft fraud is for the fraudster to say that he honestly believes that examining the entrails of dead cats will allow him or her to locate the victims lost fortune and has practiced this sorcery for some years. Case closed, the victim is out the moneys (very often gold) given to the scammer but the world is better because we allow witchcraft.
